Possessive

Mine · Watchful · Held

You confuse love and ownership. Your therapist has notes. So does your partner.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant jealousy pattern is Possessive. You want most evenings together, you tense at attention from outside, you prefer your partner doesn't go to certain places without you, and you've asked them to cut someone off. Most of this comes from a fear about your own worth — but on the other end it lands as a cage. What helps is asking what you're actually afraid of.
